Ajax.InPlaceEditor auto load textarea instead of...

[tech] tinymce + IE + IE Developer Tools = FAIL

Prototype 1.5 to 1.6 upgrade nightmare.
The issue: in prototype 1.5, there are some Ajax.Request calls that return onComplete, the response, and then a second variable passed through with json from php. Prototype 1.5 handled this perfectly fine.
But on the new prototype (1.6.1), Ajax.Request doesn’t handle that second variable. So the there are some chunks of code not executing because the variable is null.
This has taken...

Google Maps loads into the dom, doesn't display
Its because I had a z-index:-1 on the div that the maps get loaded. Changed it to 1, 2, 3, anything positive, and it started working.
